Round Robin, Take Two (202)

Here’s the second Round Robin in my group – I know I’m not supposed to share these so hopefully the person this belongs to doesn’t read my blog 😉

So this is how it came to me, center block complete by Cheryl, next round completed by Shannon and now my turn..

I added this funky border with mitered corners – what do you think? I know the fabric’s a little hard to look at lol but it sure worked out well.

Until next time, stay happy and creative…Valerie

Tip of the day: Keep a flat plastic box next to the sewing machine to corral those necessary tools together and keep them from rolling off the table 🙂 – I think this is a great idea…
